Even More (War)

Yes, even more

Even more killed

Even more gone

How much longer

Can this go on

Even more grief

Even more pain

To not stop this

Would be insane

Even more pride

Even more rage

Will we ever

Turn the page

Even more killed

Even more gone ...

Today our world is seeking the ending. Not beginning my friend. Talk of war, so many wars are active. I believe we have become numb of the murdered. Children being murdered in Palestine, Israel, Russia and Ukraine. 13 active war zones. Great countries sending weapons of death. I was a soldier for 15 years. I delivered the water, food, gas, medicine and guns, bullets to the killers. I accepted. I was a part of the murder of the innocence. Your poetry. Hard, true and is here now. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you so much. Yes, we seem bent on destruction. ~Jim

[Coyote Poetry]

I hope not. Few voices of hope and for peace. You are welcome Jim.

Once more, I have to say that I love the repetition of the first two lines of the poem as the final two lines in this awesome and so inspiring poem, Jim. Everyday we live in hope of a new page in the history of our world being turned where light, peace, hope, love, joy, blessings will fill everybody's heart. It's not happening, sadly and even more sadly, I cannot see it happening in the distant future, or even in the near future. I love this anti-warm poem, Jim. I wish everybody could read it, it might change the world, one person at a time... Thank you for writing and for sharing, Jim... Lovely work!
(Deepest sympathy on the crossing over to Spirit of you dear friend Hersh, Jim. Bless you both always, dear friend).

Thank you so much. I wrote this right after hearing that a hostage had been found killed. Could not wrap my mind around any of it. ~Jim

Oh, bless you Jim! Any human being with a beautiful heart, mind and spirit could not wrap their mind around the evil which is happening in our world at the moment. Human life no longer means anything. Each human being is disposable and easily replaced by another. What a terrible sad world we live in! Thank you again for sharing, Jim...
